About

At the base of Yashaev's practice lies the selection of images and objects from the artist's immediate surroundings. As a result, photographs, remnants from his travels, and street-found objects are organized into rich compositions which reflect a mise-en-scene of an event that has not yet occured. This process is somehwat reminiscint of a painter's work on canvas, though the result is a unique act within the medium of photgraphy, one that creates a kind of spatial, photographic collage.
